The most obvious benefit is gaining knowledge of one of the most effective means of self-defence available and the resulting confidence this will build into your character, which can be enjoyed by all ages, genders and skill levels. Men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes can therefore become very good at it. Training is gradual, but as you progress through the belt structure you will learn to defend yourself against increasingly demanding attacks, using a system of throws, locks and strikes.

There are tremendous emotional improvements that come with the study of BJJ. This can be used to confront and overcome the inevitable failures and mistakes that will occur in the course of your training and competing. You are going to get fit and have an opportunity to stay and study in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The course comprises BJJ physical training work on the mats and personal training course theory in the classroom. So, you basically study Personal Training theory in the classroom and do physical Jiu Jitsu training on the mats.

There are no academic requirements for entry to AASF, however each application will be assessed for candidate suitability and your English abilities may be questioned. To attend the academy you may have to have sufficient English language standards.

Getting a job in Australia depends on each person’s efforts but English proficiency takes a part too. The better English the student speaks the more job options he/she will have. Students who are still not confident regarding the language have more limited options in jobs. They can get jobs such as kitchen hands, pizza delivery, cleaners, car washers, etc.

But remember, Australia is a country with lots of migrants and people of several nationalities from all over the world and the Australian themselves are used to different languages and people with accents. If your English proficiency is not that good, don’t worry because they are very polite and understanding of foreigners living or visiting Australia.
